I know I know. It'd be better to use CSS (overflow-x) but firefox has a bug that prevents me from using that :(

EDIT:

Here's an explanation of WHY I am looking to do this.

Using Firefox go here: www.simplymichele.com

Play with it, navigate around, grab and swipe, etc. to familiarize yourself with how it works.

With Firebug, remove the following code from the stylesheet:

.gecko #content {
overflow: auto;
}

This resets #content to:

overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;

Now try navigating around. See how Firefox snaps back to the first slide after it scrolls to a different page (you have to click the navigation link twice to get it to stay)? This only occurs in Firefox, NO clue why. That's why I called it a FF bug. Now it could be a scrollTo plugin bug too, not sure tho.

Random note: the bottom horizontal scroll bar is hidden in firefox underneath the navigation div. To view it change #content's height with Firebug.

... now that I've explained why I need this convoluted method of controlling side-scrolling within firefox could you vote me back up to zero? Please :)
